An initial report from Stroud Area Regional Police says the woman that hit an East Stroudsburg runner with her car was driving approximately 25 miles over the speed limit at the time of the accident.

On Wednesday SARP released a PennDOT accident report, a preliminary report that is required for all accidents resulting in injuries.

According to that report, Stephanie Tomlin, 19, of Brodheasville, was traveling east on Dreher Avenue in Stroud Township at 10:10 a.m. on Oct. 14.

Police estimate she was travelling around 50 mph in a 25 mph zone as she approached the intersection with Vineyard Drive.

Immediately before the accident, Drew Davis, 46, was running north on Vineyard Drive approaching the intersection with Dreher Avenue.

The report states that as Davis ran through the intersection at Dreher Avenue, traveling diagonally toward the entrance to Tanite Road, he was hit by the right front of Tomlin's 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier.

After the accident, Tomlin's car continued to travel approximately 255 feet with Davis in the windshield of the vehicle before coming to a final stop.

The report states that Davis was within the eastbound lane of traffic, 3.2 feet from the center line at the time of the impact.

Davis was transported by medical helicopter to Lehigh Valley Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery and remained in critical condition for a week.

His condition has since been upgraded to satisfactory.

Riding in the backseat of Tomlin's car during the accident was a 5-year-old girl.

Both Tomlin and the girl were taken to Pocono Medical Center for observation, but the report states that neither was injured during the accident.

No witnesses to the incident were listed on the report and as of Tuesday, police had not interviewed Davis.
